So management built a team that could play playoff style hockey and hired a no nonsense playoff style coach who everyone turned against. Now we want to go backwards and play a style that’s unsuitable for playoff hockey spearheaded by a guy whose points drop precipitously once the calendar flips over? Florida sure as heck didn’t miss that guy when they cruised to the Stanley Cup finals last season.

It also isn't systems when you see Huberdeau over and over again making no-look passes that get intercepted by opposing players 10 feet from where he passed it with no hope of making it through. Or failed spinorama attempts that lead to turnovers. Or dishing the puck away rather than battling for it.
